Mountain bikes should not be too expensive. You can actually add some details to your mountain bike. If you do need to go for a straightforward ride in the park you do not need to spend too much, if you think you may do any off-road riding then enormous tread tires perhaps all that you need, but if you suspect you could try some rough stuff then you’ll need suspension.
Gears will often be Shimano, brakes must be V-brakes, but might be manufactured by some different makers, all the remainder of the MTB parts will depend upon how much you can spend. If you go to your local bike shop or massive sports store and see what they have got to supply, then get it or have look on the web and perhaps you will find the same at a more acceptable price.
So perhaps you need to be a little more bold, more off-road, more forest tracks and dry stone stream beds, then you will need something a little lighter, with suspension forks. All this will cost extra money, but will be worth it for the extra pleasure and excitement.
With a better mountain bike it’ll have a sportier handling and as it is lighter, it’ll be more easy to struggle up the hills before you come flying down the opposite side. The elements will again be Shimano and the quality will rely on what quantity of money you can spend. Handle bars, stem and seat pin should be amalgamate and together with a cushty saddle you can be set to take to the hills. The subsequent rung up on the off-road bike ladder would be ok to race on. There are several to choose between, get on the net and surf the bike makers sites and all of the shop sites with the mags for mouth-watering pictures of the bikes.
There are lots of mixtures of centers and edges to make up your wheels ; hearts from Shimano and edges form Mavic are the common mix.
Then you’ve got to select which suspension forks to put on you bike, you may not get a choice, depending on which bike you purchase, the main ones are Suntour, Marzocchi, Manitou, Fox, RockShox and RST, buy any of these and you wont go far incorrect. If you’d like what the executives ride you’ll have to pay lots of money a pro MTB.
As with road bike at the apex of the range, you can identify what you need to build up your dream bike. Top bikes frames to spend your cash on might be Klien, Scott, Rocky Mountain, Gary Fisher, Santa Cruz and K2 ; these are a few of the most wanted bike frames in the world and would be the envy of your pals. Possibly the best forks to put on your frame would be RockShox SID’s these are light and do all the stuff you want with control of all functions, there are several other to also to consider, look at how much travel they have and the rebound and damping systems. Gears again will be either SRAM or Shimano Fast fire, XT or XTR, extra money may be spent on carbon or really light amalgamate cranks, the brakes should be hydraulic discs from Hayes, Pace or Magura or stick to the trusted V-bakes. Wheels from Shimano or Mavic or some fancy carbon wheels, but don’t forget they are going to have to take plenty of punishment, so perhaps better to go for trustworthiness over light weight cost. Carbon handle bars, stem and seat pin and a light weight race saddle and Time or Shimano SPD clipless pedals, then your selection of tires will rely upon what terrain and ground conditions you’re going to ride on.
